In business, we plant the seeds of opportunity, nurture the relationships that show potential, weed out the ones that are not a good fit, and plan for a future harvest based on where we are today.
That “harvest” is sometimes referred to as ROR – Return on Relationship.

And speaking of formulas!
At Impagination, we love formulas! Formulas simplify and bring clarity. That’s why we named our signature private client program the Impact Formula™. And a key component of the program is a deep understanding of your current best clients. This goes beyond typical demographics like gender, age, location, income etc. and gets at the heart of the relationship you have with your best clients.
We are excited to offer our Smart+Savvy Strategy School group program for 1-3-person service businesses who want to apply our proven formula backed-up by our tried-and-true tools and a community of support.
